About This Beer
Brewmaster Medium Cider captures the simple pleasure of well-made Irish cider: ripe apple flavour, a touch of sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish. Crafted by Brewmaster at Dundalk Bay Brewery & Distillery, this polished medium cider sits at 4.5% ABV and strikes an easy balance between juicy fruit and crisp drinkability. It’s a versatile, crowd-pleasing pour that works as a sunny-day refresher, a mealtime match, or a reliable fridge favourite for get-togethers.
While our shelves are celebrated for Irish craft beer, ciders like this play a starring role in Ireland’s drinking culture — and Brewmaster brings the same quality focus you’ll find in their award-winning beers. The fermentation is designed to preserve orchard character: bright apple, gentle citrus lift, and a clean, lightly drying close that keeps each sip feeling lively rather than cloying. Serve well chilled in a stemmed glass or tumbler to highlight its sparkle and crisp edges. For more Irish favourites to round out your order, browse our curated Irish Craft Beer collection.

About the Brewery
Brewmaster (Dundalk Bay) pairs modern production with a straightforward ethos: create delicious, approachable drinks that taste great every time. Their beers have earned a loyal following for quality and value, and that same consistency runs through this Medium Cider. It’s crafted to be dependable, sessionable and versatile — the kind of bottle you can confidently bring to a BBQ, serve with dinner, or keep on hand for easy entertaining.
Food Pairings
Cider’s gentle sweetness and fresh acidity make it a natural with food. Try Brewmaster Medium Cider alongside roast chicken with herb stuffing, pork chops with apple relish, or grilled sausages and onions. Seafood pairings shine — think batter-fried fish, prawns with garlic butter, or a ploughman’s plate with smoked salmon. For cheese, reach for mature cheddar, Durrus or a creamy brie; the cider’s acidity cuts through richness while the apple notes echo savoury-sweet flavours. For dessert, pair with apple crumble, lemon tart or vanilla panna cotta to mirror its orchard brightness without overpowering the palate.
If you’d like to build a mixed case, combine this cider’s crisp profile with malt-forward comfort from our red and brown styles, or contrast it with roasty depth from our dark beers. You’ll find endless options across the shop to tailor your line-up to the season and the menu.
